Customer Reviews Vans UltraRange Rapidweld

I liked this shoe-- it's light weight and sleek. However, I had to return the pair it because I could barely get them on-- they were so much smaller than they should have been. I wear a 7.5 in Vans. These were labeled 7.5 but it felt more like a 6 or 6.5 to my feet.

A bit snug but not unusual for Vans to stretch out slightly with wear. Different styles of Vans do seem to fit differently.

Love these shoes. Light and airy walking for hours at Disneyland with no problem. ??

These shoes felt much too narrow, the Van Exo's are much more true to size with the same style.

birthday gift for my grandson - he loved them!

Bought these for my son. His foot is wide but not usually wide enough to order a wide. He would have needed a wide width in these shoes if they offered this option. Since this was not an option we had to return them. It was a good looking shoe that he really liked other than the fit problem.

They feel very good and comfortable most of all. Good for a long walk.

Typical fit of Van's. Gorgeous, rich color.

This shoe is super cute! I absolutely love how it looks and how it fits, but not how it feels under my toes. I posted the sizing of this shoe in the photos, keep in mind it's marketed at women's sizes (for me at least.) I usually wear a 39EU for summer shoes, 40 for winter shoes (thick socks, more room.) Which usually is a W9, but I ordered a W9.5 in this, and it fits like a large 39EU (so the shoe runs 1/2+ size small.) The toe area is more narrow than a traditional men's Vans, about average+ for a women's sneaker toe box. The distance across the ball of the foot is a loose women's width. I expect it will be narrow for mens sizing. But fits me great! Let me start with the bad: I *don't* like the flat ring (about 2cm) inside the shoe all the way around the non-removable insole. It follows the pattern of the sole traction, see photo, but not caused by the traction pattern I think. Basically the insole is soft except where all along the outer edge it is _glued_ down to the foundation of the shoe, (where insole meets the sides of the shoes and rubber foam sole) I can feel a recessed ring along the bottom pads of my toes and outer edge of the sole of my foot. My toes are riding a ridge where the soft rises to make the the super comfy insole. I have high arches so don't feel the weird flat ring on the inner side of my sole but I do under my big toe. It's quite a distracting weird feeling, half my big toe is on soft insole, half is on hard flat. Yeah, not sure I can tolerate the feel under my toes. Will it all flatten out to not as soft over time? Wondering how the shoes will wear over time--is the super comfy insole only memory foam?? I usually stay away from shoes that rely solely on memory foam since it wears out really fast for me (walking on my feet on concrete all day.) But I'm ok with rubber foam soles. The GOOD! These are so cute. I love the off-white sole, ring around the ankle, and laces. I love the low profile without bulk. I love the reinforced gray toe and light pink ribbon tug loops. This shoe is SUPER light and flexible. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the high traction sole--I transition from concrete to turf field at the end of the day this year. The octagon lug pattern makes for really springy comfortable base for concrete--long term! (from my experiences with this pattern in other shoe inserts = PLAE sneakers <3. I often buy spring/summer sneakers from PLAE, but liked Vans traction this year.) I'm not sure I'm going to keep them. I need to walk around on hard flat surface to decide (in the kitchen maybe?) But I really want to!
